What to Expect at Your First Visit

We know oral surgery is nerve-racking for anyone, so we pride ourselves in creating a comforting environment where you can feel confident you’re getting the best possible care.

At your first appointment, we'll ask you to fill out your new patient registration. This will allow us to get a complete view of your medical and dental history. You can skip this step at your first appointment by filling out your paperwork online.

Fill out your new patient registration online to skip the wait at your appointment.

After registration, one of our friendly dental assistants will guide you to your treatment room and review your complaint to truly understand what’s troubling you.

Your oral surgeon will then meet with you to listen to your story and provide treatment options. Together with the team, we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that addresses all your needs.

We’ll provide comprehensive care before, during, and after your procedure.

Occasionally, a procedure can be performed during your initial visit. These “see-and-do” procedures are welcome on a case by case basis.  However, in most cases, we need you to have a driver with you who can stay the duration of your appointment.
